Multiple mass ascension balloon flights at the annual Havasu Balloon Festival have been cancelled due to high winds and dangerous flying conditions.
Wind gusts near 20 mph at Lake Havasu State Park have prompted the cancellation of the Havasu Balloon Festival's main events for the first three days of the popular fair.
The mass ascensions, where all participating balloons take flight, may be the primary spectacle but the festival still has vendors, live performances, activities and more to entertain attendees. Despite the wind, the special shaped balloons are still standing, tethered in the balloon field. There are two remaining mass ascensions scheduled before the end of the festival on Sunday evening but weather conditions could still interfere. Balloon pilots will meet ahead of the flights to evaluate flying conditions.
